[16vneil]

why u going with vibe? and also why components and coaxials?

have u got this stuff if not whats ur budget?

 

[wkd_clio_16v]

iv heard good things about them and from what iv heard components and coaxials r better than 6x9s!! I dont know much so i only go by what i hear and see. I havent got a budget, il fork out 4 wots recommended or wot i c but i dont wana spend 2 much! wot r ur thoughts?

 

[Clio_novice]

Do you really need the coaxials for the rear i presume? Alot of people will tell you you dont need rear fill. Just make sure you get the best front components you can and amp them.

Oh and steer clear of 6x9s.

 

[wkd_clio_16v]

yea well if im renewin the fron i mite aswell spend a bit more and do the rear speakers aswell!! wot do u think of the combination tho?

 

[tom-m]

Alright mate. Bit off topic but in the next month or so i should be setting up accounts with all top car audio companies and will be able to buy trade. so if u dont mind waiting and i dont get messed about i will give u some prices.

Cheers Tom-m

personally id go for a set of components up front (6 inch in door pods) or 5 to fit in door cards and a decent 12 or 15 inch sub.

i can only recomend what ive used but i can highly suggest crystal for the components and RE for the sub

neil

personally think that two amps, front comps and sub in the rear is the best way to go

one amp for front comps one for sub, then disconnect the rear speakers, sound will be nothing short of awesome assuming the amps are set-up correctly

crystal comps are very good, but for the same money MB Quart are a very good speaker, best VFM IMHO

 

[connor]

I still need to learn how to set amps up to the optimum, im lacking in knowledge when it comes to that =/ need to sort ou the amp thats powering my sub! doesnt sound nearly as good as it does in my mates car !!

As you would have guessed if you had read other threads i have posted in about vibe stuff, i am anything but a fan - IMO STAY AWAY

The infinity comps are good, ive also heard v good things about crystal comps (for clear sq). Ive got some polk momo, very good set IMO. Ive also heard allot of good stuff for the dls a5s

Defo amp the fronts wount be running anywere near full potentail if run off HU.

IMO front get a mac attack 4075 or 4050(i think its this) and bridge 2 channles for each front speaker, leaves you room to expand to go active on fronts - good amp on specails at http://www.caraudiodirect.co.ukwww.caraudiodirect.co.uk

Get another 2 channel amp for the sub, then get a 4ohm sub and run it bridged - you could get anopther mac attack to make it look consistent.

Sub, not too hot on - you going for sq or spl? but 1 decent powered sub should do - get a 10" if its faster bass, dance music trance ect but it wount drop as low, a 12" will drop lower but is slower, so better for hip hop ect.

IMO you don;t really need rear fill, if you want it, does you car have stock rears?? if so leave them in there run off HU

Defo an alpine HU for front the 7894rb is exclecnt i have one and LOVE it, old stock though can get it for £275 (rrp was 500) form http://www.mcs-direct.co.ukwww.mcs-direct.co.uk )



SO IMO

hu - 7894rb - £275 http://www.mcs-direct.co.ukwww.mcs-direct.co.uk

Comps - dls/cystals - £160/£200(IIRC) http://www.caraudiodirect.co.uk/www.caraudiodirect.co.uk

AMPS - mac attack 4075 and 2050(or something) - check http://www.caraudiodirect.co.ukwww.caraudiodirect.co.uk for prices

Sub - not sure



but it depends how good a system, as you could go into crossovers, eqs, line drivers ect ect

then you have the boot build materials, wiring, sound proofing
